The Boys has given us some characters who might not be Supe but play a significant role in the grand scheme of things. One of these characters is Robert Singer played by Jim Beaver. He is a character that has been recurring in the series since season 1 and has appeared in The Boys Season 4 episode 6 as well. So, who is Robert Singer and what’s the game plan?
Robert Singer Is the President-Elect of the USA in The Boys
Robert Singer was previously a soldier who had fought in the Vietnam War. We have seen him previously in The Boys Season 2 where he was the US Secretary of Defence. He had a meeting with Stan Edgar about the involvement of Supes in the military. In The Boys Season 4, Robert Singer is a Democrat President-elect of The United States with Congresswoman Victoria Neuman as his Vice President-elect.
He also attempted to ally with Annie aka Starlight to get rid of Homelander’s supporters but had to break this alliance after Starlight beat up Firecracker on live TV.
The character of Robert Singer played by Jim Beaver has an interesting purpose as well. The name Robert Singer is a gag at the character he played in Supernatural along with the producer of the show both named Bobby Singer and Robert Singer respectively.
Is Victoria Neuman Going to Kill Robert Singer In The Boys
As we saw in The Boys Season 4 Episode 6, Homelander and Victoria Neuman laid out their plan to invoke the 25th Amendment Act that will overthrow the President to all the members of the office. In the episode, we see that Homelander and Victoria convince the officials to be on their side and while Robert Singer is President, invoke the 25th Amendment and bring Victoria to power.
For the unaware, according to the 25th Amendment Act in the US Constitution, a president can be replaced by the vice-president in the case of their death or resignation.
We know that Victoria aims to become the president in the show, so there is a high chance that she might kill Robert Singer but doing that would reveal her identity of being a Supe. However, the way things are going in the show, I think that she will eventually kill him. What do you guys think? let me know in the comments!
